I can see how you'd have difficulty distinguished the Billies from the Nannies. I can really appreciate the approach you took to this hunt, the gear you brought, and the way you went about the whole experience. Top notch stuff. You're obviously a class act and genuine outdoorsman. Well done on a successful hunt! I belong on eroding granite, among the pines.

Hell, few people can tell the difference anyway. I'm envious! Knowing the Rubies well I can attest that your goat hunt was a vertical no-picnic.

Hey Bruce, parts of that hunt were exciting terrain-wise, it sure is a beautiful mountain range. Almost too pretty to be in Nevada! Eagles may soar, but a weasel never got sucked into a jet turbine!

I learned of goat packing in the late 90's from a prof at the local U who was using them to support big climbing trips. I've wanted to get some ever since! “Perfection is Achieved Not When There Is Nothing More to Add, But When There Is Nothing Left to Take Away” Antoine de Saint-Exupery
